Svalin smiled as she lay on her side against Jon while her fingers trailed lightly over his chest. A thin sheet covered them from the waist down since body heat provided sufficient warmth. A satisfied tiredness made her limbs feel heavy and a yawn escaped her. The day had been filled with training sessions and the night with a different type of physical exertion. One that put a satisfied smile on her face.
"Art thou asleep?" she asked barely above a whisper.

| Random Scenario Meme - Svalin and Vincent - 3 - Ghost |
[28 Jan 2012|09:28pm] |
It was late and Svalin decided to take a walk around the grounds of the Defenders Compound. Everyone else was either asleep or out and Svalin wanted to make sure everything was fine. She took her job of protecting her wife, son and family members very seriously.
She kept walking, watching and listening for anything out of the ordinary.

The rules:
1. Truth or Dare: Post a scene idea as a dare. It can be in-canon, or it can be AU. You can challenge any of mine with any of yours. I can take the dare, or turn it down, by offering an honest in character answer to any question you want to ask. If I take the dare, you can set up the scene and we'll play through it.
2. Putting the 'R' in RP: So most of the time, rp comes down to casual social or big mod-run plots. This is neither, so let's spice it up. Your dare-scene challenge must involve either A. gratuitous violence, B. gratuitous nudity (I'm willing to play out sex scenes if they make sense, or hint at them) C. gratuitous crack. - because these aren't going through moderation, they can't really change anything, no new powers, no big item acquisitions, but gratuitous hero battles or villain of the week-ish stuff should be ok. Multiple choices from A, B and C are also possible.
3. Pay it Forward: As usual, if you take this challenge and post a scene idea, you also need to put this up in one of your journals, and offer some or all of yours up for scene challenges. Now the tricky part - if I take a dare, I will temp at least one of the npcs needed, if any are. I will not require you to NPC for me, no. Instead, you must temp at least one npc in any dares you take.
And, why yes, this is an effort to get people to temp occasional npcs for others in order to encourage rp. You have an easy out in any scenes you're truly not comfortable with - you can always take 'truth', and I may, not every scene will fit my characters or my fancy... but the idea is still to encourage rp, get people doing scenes and playing with characters, whether AU or our canon, and doing the little things to help get scenes going.

Svalin moved quietly and cautiously through the skeletal trees. Soggy leaves barely moved under her feet and it helped silence her footsteps. Her sword was drawn and ready, but she couldn't see anything with this fog all around. Shadowy shapes moved through the fog, but they never drew close enough to see if they were friend or foe.
Svalin had charged after a few, but she never reached them.
Movement to the right caught her eye and she turned quickly. The dark shape lingered for a moment and retreated into the fog. Svalin gave chase. Her movements were slow and awkward due to the pregnancy and she couldn't move quick enough to catch the shadowy figures.
She growled in frustration and received an agreeing kick from the child inside of her.
The fog swirled and moved around her as watched for any shadows to appear.

“Mother!” Solver yelled and ran across the great hall toward his mother. It was empty save for a few guards. The rest of Asgard was preparing to defend the realm from the enemies gathered outside the walls.
Svalin smiled when she saw her son and scooped him up into her arms when he reached her. She had come to check on Solver and Vernique. Her wife and son were the center of her world and she wanted to make sure they were safe before the battle started. “How fares thee, Solver?”
“I art well, Mother. I art ready for battle!” he said proudly. His small sword was clutched tightly in his right hand.
Svalin smiled. “Nay. Thou needest to see a few more summers before thou art ready for battle, mine son. Thy duty doth lie elsewhere today.”
“I art a warrior!”
“Thou wilt be a mighty warrior one day, mine son, but today thou must do thine duty and protect thine second mother.”
Solver frowned. “But I art a warrior!”
Svalin carried him over to the steps that lead up to Lord Odin’s throne. She sat down with ease despite the armor she wore and sat Solver on one of her legs. “We must all do our duty, Solver,” Svalin said gently. “Thy duty today ist to protect thine mother. Mine duty ist to lead the warriors of Asgard against the enemies of Asgard.”
“Who wilt protect you?” he asked.
Svalin smoothed some of his dark hair back out of his eyes. Like is grandmother Sif, Solver was one of the few Asgardians who had dark hair. It made him stand out and it made him special. Her son was special in so many ways. In him Asgard had a possible future.
“No one,” she said. “I doth not have a shield maiden to protect me.”
“Why not? Thou couldst get hurt or …” He couldn’t say the last part. He wrapped his arms tightly around her.
Svalin returned the hug. “Aye, I couldst and I wilt die someday, but it ist an honor to die in battle for the defense of Asgard. It ist our duty as Asgardians and as members of the royal family to protect the realm and all in it. With our lives if it ist necessary. It ist what being an Asgardian means, mine son. We put Asgard above all else and sacrifice all for Asgard. One day when the final battle cometh, we wilt leave all behind and die for Asgard. Doth thou understand?”
He nodded.
“Worry not, mine son. I doth not believe the Ragnarok comes this day,” she assured him. “But if the battle should not fare well for Asgard, thine mother and thee shall go to Migard. Thou wilt be safe with the Avengers. Doth thou understand?”
He nodded again.
“Good.” Svalin kissed his forehead. “I love thee, Solver. “
“I love thee, Mother.”
Svalin stood up, still holding Solver. “Let us go find thy mother. She doth need her warrior to protect her.”
"Aye," he said and held up his sword.

| The First Step on the Path of Destiny |
[10 May 2009|09:22am] |
Svalin Thorsdottir stood outside the massive entrance to Lord Odin's (otherwise known as Grandfather) hall. She had been grooming Tryggvi when she had received the summons to appear before Lord Odin within an hour. It was unusual to be summoned like this, or at all for that matter.
What could Lord Odin possibly want? Perhaps it was some sort of quest or maybe it was to help defend the Golden Realm. No matter what it could be, Svalin answered the summons and now stood at the base of the stairs leading up to the entrance to the hall.
She'd never admit it of course, but she was a little nervous.
